A World with No People

In The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Christopher likes the idea of a world with no people in it (p. 2); he contemplates the end of the world when the universe collapses (pp. 10–11); he dreams of being an astronaut, alone in space (pp. 50–51), and that a virus has carried off everyone and the only people left are "special people like me" (pp. 198–200). Christopher often fantasizes about being the only person left in the world. What is comforting about fantasizing about being the only person left in the world? Have you ever thought about being alone in the world? If you were alone in the world, what would you do?

•  When I fantasize about being the only person left in the world, it is comfortable because I don't need to do things according to other people or have to concern what other people think of you and your actions/what you do (can also be said as peer pressure). For example, you can drive all you want even if you're an underaged, scream all you want wherever you are, or do anything thing else you want to do.
• I have thought about being the only person left in the world. I have thought about this because I felt desperation and I wanted to escape a lot of pressure, especially pressure from parents, school, and also peer pressure, as mentioned above. Another reason I thought about being alone in the world is because I am annoyed by life, and I feel like there's no meaning in life (happens sometimes).
• If I really end up being alone in the world, I would get everything I couldn't get before, for example, a new computer or a new cellphone (which probably won't be of any use, anyways), other 3C products, clothes, books/novels, music, and maybe a new house. However, I would feel so lonely after a while that I would feel that maybe dying would be better.
